Ladies boots
 
My wife and I are going to Spain for 3 weeks,visiting Barcelona,Andalucia,Sevilla and Madrid.Where is the best place to buy leather boots for her?

It all depends on her taste, what she wants in a boot, etc... the best thing to do is hop from store to store, look around, try things on, see what works...

Penguins is right, but I assume that you are looking for the really nice Spanish leather boots. For those, you will want to find an upscale boutique. A good place to get an idea of what is out there is to go to El corte ingles and browse the shoes. There are also quite a few leather stores throughout. Pikolinos make nice leather shoes.

Thanks.Where is El Corte inglis and Pikolinos?

Pikolinos is a brand, so it is carried in shoe stores nationwide, but the actual factory is in Elche. el Corte Ingles is a large department store. . . you will find it in Plaza Catalunya in Barcelona, la Puerta del Sol in Madrid, and I know Sevilla has 1 or 2. So does Malaga (over the bridge at the end of the Alameda Principal).

Corte Ingles is right on Plaza Duque de la Victoria in Sevilla. This is in the central area, but north of the main area near the Cathedral (but north in Sevilla doesn't seem north to me, but west). Anyway, check a map, it's not far from Plaza Nueva.

It's not nearly as good a store as in Madrid, though, I wouldn't really bother to go there unless you've missed everything else.
